Books. Nonfiction
It’s exciting to see children start to understand the world around them—from health and wellness to media literacy—and books are a wonderful way to ease transitions and answer questions.
In our increasingly diverse, global society, perspective is a must. Drawing on primary resources, vivid writing, and thoughtful analysis, most of the new series on American history reflect publishers’ ongoing efforts to publish materials that represent different viewpoints.
There’s something for nearly every reader here, including perennial report favorites and historical stand-outs, as well as contemporary celebrities and innovators and even some lesser-known but fascinating figures of the past.
With so much focus on unusual feats and destructive natural and human-caused events, perhaps it’s not surprising that almost half the series in this season’s science line-up use disasters and extreme conditions to attract readers.
Test pilot, video game designer, and humanitarian aid worker: the careers explored here go beyond the tried-and-true options, offering readers some dynamic new possibilities for future professions.
STEM offshoots continue to proliferate as authors and publishers find ingenious new angles with which to present well-worked topics and material, from a look at innovative inventions to a glimpse at engineering efforts.
Whether curious about how amber is created or what the difference is between a neutron and a neutrino, readers are asking questions, and publishers are answering them by offering a multitude of series that appeal to inquisitive minds.
The titles here take on a variety of themes and are aimed at a range of readers. Younger students will learn the basic principles of phonetics and punctuation, while those in higher grades will refine their analytical and writing skills to create sophisticated essays and other writings, learn about art masterpieces and major art movements through history.
“Put that phone down and look around you.” That common refrain reminds us how often we encourage students to be more aware of the world around them. These series provide readers that “good look around” that will broaden their outlooks and help them learn about the basics of geographic terms and themes.
